Evaluate 3 Approaches to treating Mental Disorders: Psychodynamic, Biological and Behavioural Approach. When looking at the treatment of people with mental health issues there have been various methods tried, some having limited success and some having long term success, in this essay I shall discuss the three listed in the title along with the benefits and weaknesses of each. Psychodynamic Approach: The concept of the psychodynamic approach is to explain behaviour in terms of the forces that drive it. The best known example of this approach is Freud’s theory of personality, although there are many other psychodynamic theories based on Freud’s ideas. Sigmund Freud was the first to challenge the view that mental disorders were caused by physical illness and proposed that psychological factors were responsible for the illness.
28/12/11 Social Reforms Essay To what extent were the Liberal Social Reforms of 1906-1914 in response to the Booth and Rowntree reports? Although there were social changes before hand, between 1906 and 1914, the Liberals launched into one of the biggest social reforms in British political history. Before this, the government’s attitudes to the welfare of its people in the nineteenth century is a phrase called ‘Laissez-fare’ meaning, quite simply, the government didn’t believe it was their duty to interfere with the lives of the people and that the individuals should be responsible for the state of their own lives. However, the findings of The Booth and Rowntree reports were one of the few significant moving factors of the government abandoning of Laissez-fare with shockingly realistic statistics.

In this analysis we will look at two specific parts of analyzing psychodynamic theories. First we will discuss how psychodynamic theories affect individual personalities and finally we will explain how psychodynamic theories influence interpersonal relationships. Psychodynamic Theories Affect Individual Personalities All of the psychodynamic theories mentioned in this paper lean more to the side of being limited rather than having strength, primarily in regard to the development and effects of individual personality. A dissimilar outlook exists on the definition of personality, the driving force behind development, cause and effect, and what exactly influences it and whether it can be altered. The psychodynamic theories consist mainly of Alder’s individual psychological theory, Horney’s psychoanalytical social theory, Freud’s psychoanalytical theory, Klein’s object relations theory, Sullivan’s interpersonal theory, and Jung’s analytical theory (Feist & Feist, 2009).
The untrained individuals would look at psychopathology as being a study of mental disorders on the mere manifestation of different behaviors. However, we in the field of psychology would determine what is by going through the basics. It is commonly referred to as abnormal psychology which is the clear understanding of nature, certain treatments, and the many different causes. There are several ways in fact to where individuals in the field of psychology may use to explain psychology. For example, one psychologist may use descriptive psychopathology to which will strive to provide answers for symptoms or mental illness.
Freud’s psychoanalytic theories deal with the three-part psyche (Barry 97). He claims that the human mind contains the ego, the super-ego and the id; three parts that struggle to catch our attention. Lacan, similarly, acknowledges a struggle in the mind between seeking pleasure and doing good (Lacan 23). The character of Dorian Gray may be used as a prime example to explain the Freudian concepts of the ego, the super-ego and the id (Barry 97). In The Picture of Dorian Gray,
Compassionate reasons where one of the underlying reasons many historians argue upon the realise of the report on poverty from booth and rowntree in their study of the English town York , a town not normally associated with extreme poverty they found 29% of the population were well below the poverty line. Another reason was the very real fear workers were discouraged by the poor conditions and governments and may later turn against the government and form mass strikes or in serious cases rebellion or join the communist groups within Britain. Political self interest was high on the liberal’s agenda many historians argue. The franchise was being extended to the average man slowly and the liberals realised the average man did not benefit much from the government’s approach to peoples life’s and with the rise of the labour party and other parties many historians argue that it was out of desire to be re-elected that the liberals slowly brought about this change in reform. They didn’t get a majority government in 1910 like they did in 1906 which led them to think that social reform was the way to gain votes.
The Revolution and Social Change The war left the United States in a dark spot as they must settle two important issues as to what kind of society America was to become and what sort of government the new nation would possess.

Should our intellectual reason be the answers to our imaginative thoughts and desires, or should it be a harmony of reason and moral sense? After the Civil War the greatest nation on earth had more opportunities and more freedom “On the other hand, there was dissatisfaction with problems caused by the industrialization and urbanization, as well. These developments during the Revolution, an artistic, literary and intellectual movement gained strength, which is called Romanticism with Dark Romanticism being one of its subgenres.” (Dincer, 218) Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” the narrator’s psychological disorder and sense of guilt serves to display the Dark Romanticism within the short story in which shows the human impulse towards irrationality and contrast the Rationalist belief of intellectual reason. The following paper describes the Romantic Movement towards the irrational thought of the human mind and how this ideology was influenced by the Rationalist Movement who believed that logical reasoning was the answer to understanding the human race. Then it shows how Edgar Allan Poe uses gruesome imagery and literary devices to portray the views of Dark Romanticism in his short story the “Tell-Tale Heart”.
